Your store is set up for China
When you choose China at sign-up, Omniterra sets your currency to CNY, your time zone to Asia/Shanghai and your storefront language to Chinese. Everything can be changed later.
Taxes
13% standard tax is preset, and prices include tax, as shoppers in China expect. You can change the rate and the tax display at any time.
Payments
Card and wallet payments are the norm in China, so cash on delivery is off by default. You can still turn it on, with fees, limits and fraud scoring, if your customers ask for it.
Card payments work through your own Stripe or PayPal account where they are available, with card fields, Apple Pay and Google Pay directly in your checkout. Bank transfer is built in, and there is no commission from us on any sale.
Shipping and couriers
Couriers commonly used in China are ready in your admin — DHL Express, UPS, FedEx, DPD, GLS — with tracking links filled in where we know the format. Add your own rates, free-shipping threshold and local carriers.
Checkout that feels local
The address form asks for the province, and phone numbers are checked against the +86 format.
